Dinner Time?

[Dis]

When making dinner reservations, how early do you need to make reservations so not to miss the shows?

Personally, we never make bookings at all for any restaurant. If you are going to a show, then either go to the MDR or the buffet in plenty of time to get to a show, or take an earlier show and go to eat after.

I think we were advised to book dinner 90 mins prior to a show, and advise the server of our showtime so he could expedite things as needed.

I would plan at least 90 minutes or more, taking into consideration where the dining room is in relation to the theater. We booked one reservation at the MDR about 90 minutes before the show we wanted to see and barely made it. We informed our server ahead of time, but we just had slow service that night.

On the smaller ships that we travel on we tend to eat in the MDR at 5.45 and always have finished well before the first show; even when we share a table. If using the Specialty then it would be a tight push from that time as service is more'civilized"!!

We made reservations for the specialty restaurants at 7:30, I believe the later show was at 9:30 and we never had trouble making that. We also went to the MDR a few nights at 6 and made the early show at 7:30 without any problems. We rarely found dinner taking more than an hour.
